You were not just a mom to me you were a soft shoulder to cry on. A listening ear to help me when I’m troubled or joyful. My spiritual guide to always look to God to for answers. Most of all my best friend. I know you are with Wendell rejoicing with Jesus in heaven. That is the comfort and peace we have. I will miss you.

July 27, 2026 at 7:00 amFor 45 years, I was blessed to call you my mother-in-law, but you became so much more than that. Thank you for your love, your kindness, and the example of faith you lived every day.
Watching your strength and courage over these past few months was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Through it all, you never walked alone. Your faith in Christ carried you, and now you are finally home in His loving arms, free from pain and surrounded by perfect peace. You can rest now.
You will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. I love you mom!
